Last few years every time I had a break from school I would go home and crank out as much ammo as possible at my parents house. Finally done with school so wont have a lot of time to make it home so I guess its time I get my own reloading set up.
What would be an ideal first press? My dads press is an RCBS RS2 and it does great but it takes forever to load handgun. I just dont know if I can cough up $500+ for something like a hornady lock and load progressive. Do they really make reloading that much faster? I know my buddies Dillon can really crank out the rounds but I wasnt sure about turret or progessive presses.
Currently only reload 9mm, .223, .357, have the stuff for my hunting rifles but dont shoot them enough. Will likely be adding a 6.5 creedmoor within the year after I get my reloading set up. I wont have the space to have a full dedicated reloading set up so I will need something that can be tucked away under a bed or in a closet when not in use.
